Find an Online English Tutor in Staplehurst to Help Your Child Thrive
Feeling the pressure of the Kent Test? We understand. When places at sought-after grammar schools like Cranbrook School or The Judd School are so competitive, it's natural to worry if your child's creative writing or reading comprehension is strong enough. You want to give them the best possible start, and seeing them struggle with their English can be tough.
Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An online English tutor can create a relaxed, encouraging space for your child to ask questions freely, build on their strengths, and grow in confidence – setting them up for success now and in the future.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and Common Entrance exams, including the Kent Test. You can check their profiles for specific experience and even send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs.
We're aiming for a place at a specific grammar school like Cranbrook. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. While we can't guarantee a place, our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child feel confident and prepared. They can focus on the specific skills needed for the entrance exams of schools like Cranbrook, Maidstone Grammar, or The Judd School, from creative writing to verbal reasoning.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to chat about your child’s goals before you book.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or fees.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team, has their ID and qualifications verified, and undergoes a background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. This personalised attention often leads to a fantastic boost in their self-belief.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed to help them make progress from the very first session. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject within just a few lessons.
Can a tutor help with both reading comprehension and creative writing?
Of course. The beauty of one-to-one tuition is that each lesson can be tailored to exactly what your child needs to work on, whether that's mastering comprehension skills one week or practising their creative writing the next.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, we just ask that you give them at least 24 hours' notice.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
